[Intro]
Yo, we in a fight for our lives
We in a fight for our lives
And the trip thing about it
I don't know if we can win
And what's sad.. I don't think we wanna win
[Ice Cube]
Can you help me? A nigga need a job
I'm desperate, for some corn on the cob
I'm helpless, will I have to steal and rob?
No black business so I got to ask Bob
Bob got a job but it's done by a robot
No lunch break so it can do a whole lot
mo' than a human being, and it's European
Ran by a Korean-American
So there I am, surrounded by aluminum
It's nowhere you can run
It's nowhere you can be
It's just you and me, versus modern day machinery
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It's man vs. machine baby
My head's in the guillotine baby
It might take it off clean baby
Automated dreams equal man vs. machine baby
[Ice Cube]
I'm a fly caught in a web
A fish stuck in the internet
Don't they know I'm a deadly catch?
Eat this meat, every bite so full of stress
So what can I say to you?
I'm highly relatable and bio-degradable
I thought we was unfadeable
Slaves to machinery, is that the way to go?
I don't need you to bug
24-7, I gets that computer love
I don't need you to love
Human contact, ain't what it used to was
It's man vs. machine baby
My head's in the guillotine baby
And it took it off clean baby
Automated dreams equal man vs. machine baby
[Outro: repeat 2X]
The whole world is automated
It need to be investigated
When people are eliminated
What we 'posed to do when it's time to feed all the babies?
